Enhancing the Drive

Among the Honda Pilot’s cutting-edge features, drivers and passengers will find various amenities that are designed to boost both convenience and entertainment for those riding onboard. Included among these advanced offerings are features like:

Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System: Get where you’re going with ease thanks to the Honda Pilot’s Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System, which comes standard for the Pilot Touring and Elite trims and is available for the Pilot EX-L model. This Garmin-based navigation system features simplified voice-recognition technology, a lane guidance split screen for road signs and exits, predictive local search, HD Digital Traffic, 3D terrain and building renderings, and free map updates for five years.

HomeLink Remote System: Forgot to arm your security system or close the garage? The problem is easily solved with the Pilot’s HomeLink Remote System, which comes standard in all but the base trim. This state-of-the-art system lets drivers operate up to three remote-controlled devices within their homes from right inside the vehicle, such as garage doors, home lighting systems, and home security systems.

Rear Entertainment System: With its standard seating for eight passengers, the Honda Pilot is the ideal vehicle for families. That makes the Pilot’s available rear entertainment system with DVD and Blu-ray capability the perfect amenity. When you’re driving with children in tow, there’s nothing like an attention-keeping movie or video game to make the miles go faster and to effectively silence those cries of “Are we there yet?” Wireless headphones help keep the noise contained to the back seat so moms and dads can enjoy blissful quiet.

Smart Entry: Getting inside the Pilot and accessing its fundamental functions has never been so easy. With the Smart Entry system, which comes standard in all but the Pilot base model, drivers can unlock the Pilot, open the doors and liftgate, fire up the engine, drive the vehicle, turn off the engine, and re-lock the doors—all without ever touching the key. Just have the fob in range, whether it be in a pocket or purse, and the rest is easy.

Bluetooth Connectivity: Drivers can safely and conveniently stay connected to their phones while on the road with Bluetooth HandsFreeLink and Bluetooth streaming audio, both of which come standard onboard the Honda Pilot models. Simply pair your compatible phone with the in-vehicle system and you’re ready to browse through favorite audio content, access phone functions, and more while keeping your eyes safely on the road and your hands securely on the wheel.

Rain-Sensing Wipers: Even the Honda Pilot’s most basic functions have gone high-tech, including its windshield wipers. The Pilot Elite offers standard rain-sensing windshield wipers that activate and adjust automatically according to the amount of precipitation sensed on the windshield. This eliminates the distraction of manually turning on and adjusting the windshield wipers in stormy conditions and leaves a driver’s attention free to stay focused on the road.

State-of-the-Art Safety Tech

In a family vehicle like the Honda Pilot, safety is an important concern—and the Pilot is geared up and ready to help protect you and yours! Various cutting-edge safety and driver-assist features are offered onboard the Pilot to make your journeys safer and less stressful.

Included among these innovative safety offerings, each Pilot model has an advanced airbag system with SmartVent front side airbags and three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensors. Other standard safety tech includes a multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines, Hill Start Assist, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control, a tire pressure monitoring system with tire fill assist and location and pressure indicators, and more.

Drivers can also change lanes with greater confidence thanks to the Honda LaneWatch blind-spot display system, which is offered standard in all but the base model. Using a camera mounted on the passenger-side exterior mirror, this helpful system provides drivers with a clear view of obstacles in their blind spot.

The Honda Sensing suite is further offered standard for the Pilot Touring and Elite trims and is available for the EX and EX-L models. Honda Sensing features include:

Collision Mitigation Braking System

Forward Collision Warning

Road Departure Mitigation System

Lane Departure Warning

Adaptive Cruise Control
